~—lf people are wise, an_éxchang& observes, they will note that the danger of sickness from the sudden change of temperature is greater than it was when everybody was trembling from dread "of cholera. In point of fact, sickness is on the increase. In one place chills and fever, another congestive chills, and yet another yellow fever. Extra clothing and fires at night are in order as precautionary measures, and the dess melons the better.

- —The Fair will commence one week from next Tuesday. Don’t forget to attend. All the citizens of our county should take special pains to be present and do all in their power to make it a grand success, financially and otherwise. The managers, have sparcd"{ neither labor nor expense to make the coming Fair better than any ever before held; and the citizens of the county should, by their presence and imtronage. demonstrate to all that these efforts are duly appreciated. =~ —A number of ladies are preparing articles of domestic manufacture for the Fair. - Let the good work go on.— We are all concerned in the success of the exhibition. The premiums offered will bear an average comparison with those of. any county in the State.— Most of the owners of fine stock in this and surrounding counties have made their :irrangements to be present, and it is certain that the attractions in the floral and art departments will far surpass the display of any previous year. ‘ :

—H. G. Zimmerman, esq., secretary of the Agricultural Society, is now ready to make entries for the coming Fair.

Persons living in town or its immediate vicinity can greatly facilitate business by securing - their entry tickets before: Tuesday, Sept. 23d. - 5 ~—Sheriff Hough and his family had alively tussle with two prisoners who attempted to escape from the county jail last Sunday morning. Mr. H. had opened the door of a cell in which three prisoners were confined, when two of them made a rush for the door. The first was caught by the Sheriff and, with the help of his wife and daughter who came to his assistance, prevented from leaving the cell. The other succeeded in escaping thro’ ‘the door into an adjoining room, but here he was met by the Sheriff’s boys; one of whom, Ben, by a well directed blow with a club brought thé prisoner to the floor, Just as the man had regained his feet, assistance came from the Bradley House and the -prisoners were soon again securely locked up in their cell, from which it is not likely they will escape, exeept by due process of law. . :

'OUR LOCAL CORRESPONDENCE. o KENDALLVILLE. ° It is rumored that our eounty ofiicers have got track of some more money taken—Dby mistake, of course. It is said that papers and reports which should have been filed away are missing and can’t be found, and that certain ex-county officers are watching. with fear and trembling the result, and further that they are preparing’ to leave the county. o . A ten cent phrenologist was here last woek. He is great on the Franklin head. e said that his business

was very profitable at: Ligonier.— “Jerkwater” was the most prominent “bump” on his eranium. Last week was a very profitable one to our school book dealers. A good many soldiers were examined and- re-examined for pensions at this place last|week by surgeon Williams. o =

A Henry Schaefer is soliciting stock for the neéw coffin manufactory. He is meeting with quite good success. It is proposed to start with a ecapital of $40,000. : : There is a fellow living on Mitchell street who says he tries to be a Christian, and wants to be a Christian, and feels that he ought to be a Christian, but swears that he can’t be one as long as he has “that d—d old cow and such cussed meighbors.” : s | Billy Williams’ statement in regard to bribing republican editors in this District is true so far as it applies to Pole-cat Myers, and Myers exhibits considerable .generosity toward Billy' in not denouncing him for taking

back pay. : One gentleman remarked after reading the petition and names in my last communication that if he had been in Myers’ place he wogilld never have accepted the office, but then, said he, “that would make no difference with Myers.” : o : A Soldier told me, not long since | that if he could -have gotten the Kendallyille post' office it would have helped him right out of his troubles. The man to-whom I refer risked his life in the army, where he contracted a disease that prevents him from earning his bread by manual labor, but would be fully competent to discharge the duties of Postmaster. And if the people could have expressed their preference between Pole-cat and this "man, ninety-nine out of every hundred would have geng for the soldier. I wonder if Major Sayler knew that he was robbing a family—little children, too—of their bread when he signed the recommendation to turn Ed. Lisle out of the post ofﬁce’ and put in that impotent ass—Pole-cat Myers, ... i 5 There was considerable frost last Monday morning in this vicinity. : . JoE
